John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 13:4

Beware — Because the child was to be a Nazarite from the womb, Judges 13:5, and from the conception; and because the mother's pollution extends to the child, she is enjoined from this time to observe the following rules belonging to the Nazarites. Strong drink — Under which are comprehended the other particulars mentioned, Numbers 6:2-4. Nor eat — Any of those meats forbidden, Lev. 11:1-47, which were forbidden to all, but especially to the Nazarites.
